Online learning
We’ve called our online learning environment My Te Kura. The secure online space allows our students to access their learning resources and connect with their teachers and other students. Learning resources may include other online education providers who we may provide a student’s name, identification number, and email address to facilitate access – see Terms and Conditions for more information. Online learning uses a mix of online and offline activities. Te Kura students are asked to explore their world, not just sit in front of a screen.
The music video ‘Echoes of the Sun’, which was created through online collaboration in My Te Kura between more than 50 students, demonstrates the effectiveness of online learning.
The majority of Te Kura’s courses are delivered online. Learning online allows students to:
- interact with each other and their teacher in a password-protected online classroom
- collaborate with other students
- communicate with their teacher online or by email
- access and participate in online learning activities
- use CDs, DVDs, flash drives and MP3 files and other online materials
- record their learning in digital formats.
